never realized that Israel was that small !
You would think that the world could forget about it and leave it in peace
Yes… and conveniently forget about the literal millions of displaced Palestinians along with that.
But of course, such speculation defeats the propaganda in this article.
Now why would I want to help a country bent on stealing land, homes and resources? Why would I want to support a country that routinely violates human rights with a set of antiquated and biased laws bent on subjugating a population because of being a Palestinian? Bent on murdering children. Fuck you.
